[General] Modifying these triggers.

[jonhysone]

I got these triggers so a unit jumps repeatedly smoothly . Well this is the best 2D jump triggers. But I need them to be working just if a player presses Up button . Any helps please ?

Please help . The triggers are in the attachment .

Bump ! Help !

 

[deathismyfriend]

stop using integer A/B also stop using entering unit.
use ur own integer. use triggering unit. they are both faster and more efficient than wat u r using.

just use the player presses up arrow event. then trigger ur actions. if he needs to be in the region to jump then do a boolean check and check if triggering unit is in region

Eh ! I forgot them because I was using them since a long time . However thank you for this info .

just use the player presses up arrow event. then trigger ur actions. if he needs to be in the region to jump then do a boolean check and check if triggering unit is in region

Well That's my problem . When pressing up ,I create a boolean . But this sytem is actually made when the unit jumps repeatedly . I can't stop them because I don't understand how his mathimatic functions go . If it was a flying height system , I would use Power^2 function . Bah , This is a movement system from point (X,Y) to another .
I would be very happy if some one makes it work when A PLAYER PRESSES up button . I give +rep , and I mention in credits .

 

[deathismyfriend]

well u need a trigger that runs on player presses up button to jump. then u need a trigger that stops the unit from jumping preferably a trigger that runs when player depresses the up button.

u should make ur own system it would be a lot better. u could manage it exactly how u want to do it.

i cant get on pc to be able to modify someones triggers. thats y i say to make ur own. u will learn and then if u get stuck someone will be able to help

 

[jonhysone]

Alright . I really want to make my own system . The jump should look like ( Power ^2 Graphic's Design ) so smooth. I tried hard , I don't how to have this done by using ' Unit - Move Unit Instantly ). But in the triggers I've posted . There what I wanted to see . But I don't know how to change the maths values to make it fit 'Player - Pressed Up ' event .

 

[deathismyfriend]

just change the events. rather than entering a region have the player press up button do the firing of the trigger.

 

[jonhysone]

I don't have a problem with the trigger that fires ( runs ) the jump trigger . That was pretty easy . The problem that How can I change the jump trigger ( that is run ) so when a player presses Up it works correctly .

 

[deathismyfriend]

press up to jump change a boolean to true. then move the unit in a jump motion. when player touches the ground check for a boolean. if true continue jump.
when player depresses jump button turn boolean to false.

u will need 3 triggers. one that activates when button is pressed. this one changes boolean and indexes the unit to be jumped. then turns on loop trigger.
the next is the depresses which only changes boolean to false.
the third and final trigger is the loop. this one acts like a spell trigger. u have the indexed units that are jumping so u move them here. then when unit touches ground u de-index that unit.

 

[jonhysone]

the third and final trigger is the loop. this one acts like a spell trigger. u have the indexed units that are jumping so u move them here. then when unit touches ground u de-index that unit.

That's the problem . What do you mean by indexing ? and de-indexing?

 

[deathismyfriend]

look at the chapter how to index in my tutorial things a GUIer should know.

that is all about indexing and de-indexing

 

[sentrywiz]

Why don't you make the event on "Player X releases the Up Key"

That way you avoid all repeatable jumps until the player presses and releases the up key again.

 

[jonhysone]

If the player i still pressing on Up button . He will jump repeatedly . When he releases it . The unit stops in the air ...

 

[sentrywiz]

If the player i still pressing on Up button . He will jump repeatedly . When he releases it . The unit stops in the air ...

Make the event "Player releases the up key"

Then simple put a boolean var for example "InAir[Player Number] = true" and put the same requirement on this event so it would be like:

Event - Release Up Key
Conditions - If InAir[X] != true
Actions - Do all jump actions

At the end of the jump trigger, set the InAir[X] = false
This way players can't mash the up button and jump repeatedly until they finish the jump started.

 

[deathismyfriend]

^ that is y i said all of this. This is exactly wat u need

press up to jump change a boolean to true. then move the unit in a jump motion. when player touches the ground check for a boolean. if true continue jump.
when player depresses jump button turn boolean to false.

u will need 3 triggers. one that activates when button is pressed. this one changes boolean and indexes the unit to be jumped. then turns on loop trigger.
the next is the depresses which only changes boolean to false.
the third and final trigger is the loop. this one acts like a spell trigger. u have the indexed units that are jumping so u move them here. then when unit touches ground u de-index that unit.

I don't think it's easy to explain . The Problem is in the 'loop' trigger . I made booleans and everythings starts good . But , The jump loop trigger doesn't work as I want . It's made by another guy where the unit is created in the air ( far from the ground even its 2D) . Then the unit starts falling first . But What i need that when a player presses Up . the unit jumps above . This seems to be working nicely ( it's the jump system that is repeated once the unit touches the ground ). I gave it a boolean . and when a player presses up . the unit moves in the opposite angle ( down ) . I tried to make the constants negative . but it makes it unreal . where the unit jumps with an ascending speed instead of a descending speed . then the unit falls slowly . Shit , It sounds that I won't solve this . LOOK TRIGGERS :

WHAT IS WRONG IN THE TRIGGERS ABOVE? The Unit jumps in 270 angle instead of 90 . other thing . making the values negative makes it worse . Please help . If there is any math function for this , let me know thanks .
